Yes, thanks, totally useful and this is the unique possibility that I have to work on 16km (i don't use it)...if someone help me with the spotted distance , like you are doing. Continue posting!

ok, tks/good, I should be able to do some more during the weekend.

Hi Rubini,
I've installed your mod and i'm testing it on another patrol at the moment (1941).
So far it works nicely and up to the description.
The only thing i've noticed is those pesky Elco boats can still suprise you with their typical charm even in good weather. Which is fine with me 'cause that's their role i guess. It's not about being immune right? Within identical weather conditions my WO spotted a Commerce Raider at just below 8000m but for an Elco it was close to 1000m (ca. 2300hrs, wind 6, no precipitations, no clouds, calm). I got attacked twice that way. They're scary when they storm at you with guns blazing.
Overall, it appears to be a MUST HAVE mod (at least for 8km atmo.)! I'm curious how it's going to work further on in my career when air cover gets thicker and radars come into use.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thumbs up!
:up: :up:

I think it's only fair to let you know the reason why your not receiving any info from me :yep:
I'm playing your 8km now....you've totally converted me from the 16km :up: :arrgh!:

Thanks by the report mate!
Yes, the small ships (and small airplanes too) are very difficult to see at night. Especially a Elco because they don't make so much noise (when you are surfaced) and don't have enough smoke. I guess that with a small and without smoke ship the situation is really that: you are the big fish!

I can adjust this on my settings but we will start to have some side effects. Anyway I think that the above exposed situation is very reasonable. What do you think?

OT: I, another day, noticed a GWX/SH3 little flaw: a small sail boat was detected by my SO (hydrophone) like all others loud ships: 20km! But this is true also without my mod. It's a Sh3 limitation. (the sail boats have a engine attached to them, so the SO will detect them).

LOL!
That is good! At least for me that also prefer the 8km for all the above exposed (on this thread and in the 16km original thread)...
And how it's going? Any problem with the mod?:hmm:

Non whatsoever...it's nice to see the watch crew identify at the correct point in time :yep:
This is very much appreciated....but I can't help wonder if I'll eventually change back when the 16km version is perfected :D :damn:

No adjustments needed here. I think that the surprise/ambush factor is right in this instance. On the other hand u-boat has similar advantage against a merchant.
When it comes to spotting aircraft, it's pretty much analogic.
So far, very happy with both.
:up:

tried the mod today, and i collided with something while on 1024 TC. second collision sunk me. ofcourse i couldnt do anything to prevent it.

strange thing is, i really dont know what happened. was running surfaced and course was fine too.

if i understand this mod correctly, it only adjusts some variables for sensor behaviour...so i would say it shouldnt be the mods fault, but it sure was strange.... :hmm:

i have to say i much prefer using 16km visibility. im just about to start a gmx patrol so how far of from a 16km version of this mod are we and when its released can it be added mid patrol?

Well, the mod isn't absolute, SH3 always put some random error on the results, what I think is good.
But, are you sure that you installed it correctly?
Probably you collided with a mine or a subnet. Do you saw on what you collided?:hmm:

Yes, it can be enabled middle patrol...but I don't have a prevision to 16km yet. And I don't know if I will release one anyway.
Thanks for the interest!;)

i aint a modder but wouldnt it just be a case of doubling whatever values u have with 8km for 16km?

Can you make only hidrophone mod for 16km gwx ?

The hydrophone and airplane section of the mod will be the same that are in the 8km version (99% sure).

In 16 km mod sometimes your game only stop from a TC with airplanes over you?:hmm:

Is that an actual question? I usually don't go above 128x in AC patroled areas, and so far I never had an AC attack where I could not crash dive away safely. Sometimes I even take the time to decide if I should dive or fight it out.

Hummm...but you have RWR enable, no? I'm refering to crew visual detection only..this normally on stock and big mods in general only occurs over you head even in low TC...:hmm:

With RWR enable even without the Stay Alert crew this isn´t a problem. This mod only refers to visual and hydrophone.;)

Nope, no RWR. Usually I sail around early in the war, when hardly anyone has radar. With a watch officer and a pettyofficer with watch quallification I'm hardly ever surprised by anything. Planes are usually spotted well before I can see them with binocculars.

That´s better then! Seems that 16km version will not need the airplane fix section.
GWX settings are really better for 16km than 8km for visual purposes. The LRG mod push it in this direction.;)

Thankyou
 

Thankyou very much for your hard work in researching and making this into a mod.
